Whatever happened to Diaspora? The September, 2000, winner of the MPOGD Game of the Month Contest appears to have vanished in the void. A visit to the game's past URL (the one which is still used at the Altitude Productions website at http://www.altitude.co.uk) or http:www.netdiaspora.com reveals a web directory site. OTOH, a visit to the alternate URL ofhttp://www.netdiaspora.co.uk takes you to an index that was updated this November 5th, 2001. There is a downloadable game program there the front page of which has the following text:
Server version: 1.27
Welcome to Rillaspora!
Current things not working: -AI -Unofficial guilds -Guild bank -Sats
Please register with (and read) the forum at http://diaforum.cjb.net
Any problems, bugs, suggestions? Get in touch with Funkcikle, Boom, Wuked, Aspinall or myself.
For anyone that doesnt know, this is a closed beta test server. If you have recieved the client from anyone other than myself (Guerilla), you are not supposed to be here. If you would like to help beta test it, contact me at rilla@gmx.co.uk or Funk on funkcikle@hotmail.com
There is little on the Rillaspora forum at http://cloud.prohosting.com/rlunatic/cgi-bin/ikonboard/ikonboard.cgi that explains anything except that it would appear that there is a players effort going on to salvage the game which appears to be officially dead.
